I looked again at the paper (page 27): Haskell's Overlooked object system. http://homepages.cwi.nl/~ralf/OOHaskell/paper.pdf
Is there any particular reason why you like that paper so much? Object orientation is nice, when you're dealing with "object-like" normal forms (that's actually quite rare, for most models of OO. The actor model is the only one I can think of off-hand with a "natural" interpretation). Otherwise, it's just an extra, unnecessary layer of abstraction.
